What affects the price in Mill Street
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Mill Street, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Composite and resin
Stone resin and composite baths are heavy and solid, and frequently freestanding. Chips and scratches can be filled and colour-matched, in much the same way.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Mill Street?
If the rest of the bath is in good condition, a repair is almost always the better choice. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and the bathroom stays as it is. If the entire surface is worn, re-enamelling may make more sense, and we’ll tell you. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

When to call us in Mill Street
Rust typically starts where water sits, around the waste, under the taps or in an old chip. Water on bare metal causes rust that creeps under the surrounding enamel.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Cracks in an acrylic bath
- A chip where the taps sit
- Rust spots around the plughole
- Scuffs and scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A steel bath rusted through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- A whole bath that’s dull or worn, where a full re-enamel is the better fix
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Whirlpool & spa baths
- Roll-top & freestanding
- Acrylic
- Cast iron enamel
- Pressed steel enamel
